Letters from May. Snips from letters I write to friends and family – a different look at lockdown under the pandemic.
Life
Foolish letters
Long letters to family and friend, cut down into bite-size nuggets for your dipping pleasure. These are from April, 2020.
Because I know you missed it
I know you’re eager to catch up with my cooking and eating. It’s hard to be away from this riveting excitement for long – I get it. Back with a new edition.
Letters to my aunt
Letters helped me keep connected and burn off the anxiety that burbled during the first weeks of lockdown. Here are some excerpts.
From Russia with love
Time travel with me to Russia. This is a trip from 2004 – before I blogged. Looking at the pictures brings it all back!
Corona, time and pastry
A momentous time of doing nothing and everything. Capturing how it felt for posterity is not corny at all.
Quite a week.
What to be proud of in the USA, 2020 edition.
What’s up, my multitude?
What I do when I am not cooking and eating, and then, again, what I’m cooking and eating.
Favorite story
Bougainvillea, and a plea for us to get past partisanship and unite against the politicians playing us like a big ol’ xylophone.
Mom’s day
An ode to Mom, to home, to our origins, to the love, humor, and delicious hamburgers that remind me who I am.
